Coach of Nigeria’s U21 Handball national team Shittu
Agboola has stated that the Nigeria U21 Handball national team will
be able to make the cut out of the group stage of the world cup
after been drawn alongside France, Sweden, Egypt, South Korea, and
Australia.

Agboola speaking in a chat with www.brila.net[1] said the group is
tough but the competitions attended already by this team will come
in handy for the team at a crucial moment.

He thereafter added that the issue of no fund from the ministry
is very worrisome and distracts what should have been full
concentration to prepare and focus solely on the competition.

“It’s really a tough group but because of all these exposures we
have had over time, we are supposed to be able to make it out of
that group.

I’m really hopeful that we will qualify from that group. The
only impediment I see is if we will get the support of the ministry
so as to help ensure we start camping on time.”

The competition is billed for the 15th through to the 28th of
July 2019 in Spain.
